Our aim is to make the schemes reach every section of the society: Chief Minister
Launching the scheme, Soren said that the government is committed to the welfare of every citizen of the state. Our aim is that the benefits of government schemes reach every section of the society. This is one such scheme for lawyers. The government will pay an annual premium of Rs 6,000.
‘We don’t work for votes’
He further said, our critics say that we work for vote bank. But I believe that if we work, people will naturally join us. We go to people to ask for votes on the basis of our work. This is the reason why this time people have given us more strength and blessings than in the previous term.

Soren said that Jharkhand is one of the backward states of the country. This saddens me. We are making every effort to erase this stigma. Along with this, he said that his government is working to empower the lawyers of the state. The Chief Minister said, we are preparing to establish the country’s best law university in the state. It will be ready soon.
